almond oil

food coloring

flavor

raw sugar

First start out with a sealable container.

a small to medium sized container with lid.

Start out with a 1/4 to 1/2 cup of Raw sugar.

This is the best scrub to use when exfoliating the lips. It has a good grit that makes it easy to get your lips super soft and kissable. Remember to exfoliate slow when you place the mixture on your lips.

You need a very small amount of the almond oil. You can also subsitute Almond for Coconut oil if you already have that in your cabinet. I don't measure the oil i just pour a small amount over the sugar and stir, I'll add more if i see it necessary.

Think of food coloring as a stain, you can do 1 drop for a light pink hue, for the brighter colors you would add more drops. If you want a purple shade. You would mix blue and red accordingly in a seperate bowl for the right color. Be careful not to get these on your hands or clothes because they STAIN!

The baking isle at your local grocery store is going to be your best friend for this. So many different flavors to choose from, I've seen bubblegum, root beer etc. Same with the oil I just use best guess for this step. If you like a faint taste just a drop or so will do it, but if your like me and want to know the flavor add a few more drops.
